CABINET.

Applicatibnled May 28,

To all whom t may concern Be it known* that' I,1Gnonen POLL, afcitizen of the UnitedStates, and resident of the city of New York, borough lof Queens, in the` county of Queens and State. of New York, have invented ia new and Improved Cabinet, of which the following ist a lfull, clear, and exact description. l

In connection with cabinets, and more particularly that-type of cabinet usedby oculists, it is appreciated that some pro-i vision mustbe made `so that the same is capable ofreceiving a tray, which latter receives the numerous lenses utilized Jfor eye-` testing.

With this kin mind, numerous attem ts have been made to produce a cabinet whichshall not be cumbersome in construction, and in which a tray may be provided whiclr shall readily be accessible so that the desired lenses may be withdrawn from theV same.

The aforementioned cabinets have for the most part beenv somewhat cumbersome in construction, and have not been capable of being produced at a low cost. Further, it is often desirable to remove the entire tray for the purpose of cleansing the cabinet and tray, and this has, for the most part been diliicult in. cabinets heretofore constructed.

With this in mind, I have constructed a cabinet which Vis ideally adapted for use by oculists, and which shall be capable of receiving a tray, the contents of which may be readily accessible, the entire tray being capable of ready removal for the purpose ofA cleansing, etc. l

Reference is had to the attached sheet of drawings as illustrating one practical embodiment of my invention, and in which drawings Figure 1 is an elevational view of a cabinet constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig.4 2 is a-plan view of the essential portions. of the tray.

Fig. 3 is a sectional side view taken along the lines 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is an enlargedsectional view taken along the lines 4--4 of Fig. 2, and g Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of a certain portion of the tray supporting mechanism.

In these views, the reference numeral 10 indicates any suitable type of supporting Specification of Letters Patent.;

legs, to the upper end of Awhich is lsecured a deck 11 of any desiredtype.-` A cabinet 12 extends inwardly fromv the decl; portion 11 and-is formed with a suitable recess 13 for a purpose hereinafter' more` fully specified, the open-face offwhich `may conveniently be closed by' al fdoor'vrlt. lMounted within `the recess 13, 'or other i suitable portion of the cabinet is a vbed plate 15.

Mounted upon the upperiace, andad-v jacent to the side edges of this-latter element, are track members 16 secured in ap-` pliedpositionfby any suitable Ameans such as bolts 17. `Slidablymountedwwithin the grooves formedinthe inner side edges of` the track members 16 arerails 18 connected together-by means of cross-bars 18"whi"ch serve to support a'carriage including a` pair of uprights 19 connected together at their upper ends by means ofa bar 20, such carrlage further including horizontally extending side members 21, and a front angle iron 22 for a purpose hereinafter more fully specified.

Now with a view of providing means which will serve to connect the carriage' with, and retain the same upon, the rails 18, one of the side rails 21 of the former is conveniently formed, as has been clearly shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4 with an overlapping portion 23, the edgel oi' the overlapping portion being extended inwardly so as to provide tabs 24 which engage the under side of the rail 18, and retain the carriage in applied position.

The opposite side rail is also formed with an overlapping portion 23, which overlapping portion however, is without the tabs 24'which permits'of the carriage being detached from the rails upon this edge being initially swung upward. To normally re-V tain and guide the same however, the lug 25 is pivotally secured, as at 26, to the under side of the rear rail 27 of the carriage, which latter rail extends between the lower ends of the uprights 19. It will be obvious that this tab will serve to normally prevent any movement other than a sliding of the parts, one with"k respect tothe other, it beingunderstood, that by virtue of the pivotal connection of this member, that the same' may readily be swung so as to permit of a detachment of the carriage from the rails. A tray 28, of any desired construction, is

now positioned within the carriage, and has its upper edge engaging the bar 20, its lower .end resting against .and being retained by mally retracted position at which no danger,

for its contents may be felt, but it will be apparent that the same is instantlyv available upon the carriage'being moved 'tothe position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, atpwhich point the tray 28 may be conveniently removed if this is desired, a detachment of .the carriage being effected, as has been-'indie cated, if the operator so wishes.

Obviously numerous modifications of structure might bek resorted ,tolwithout in thefleast departingfrom the .spirit lof my invention, which Iclaim asv l. A cabinet, including a of track members secued one adjacent each Vofthe side edgesor" said vbed plate,-rails slidably associated :with said track mem-A bers, a receiving carriage .slidably mounted upon said rails, said carriagepresenting` aj pair of uprights,a rail extending between the lower ends of said uprights, .a bar eX- tending. betweenthe upper ends thereof,
